This afternoon has been rather a grey and depressing story which has resulted in the really dismal total of just 6 minutes of sunshine being recorded for the entire day so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 4pm this afternoon with nothing at all in that department since 9am this morning.
It is still windy as well, with this afternoon's maximum wind gusts so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank, still getting up to 33.6 mm from the WSW.
It has also started raining here a short while ago although this is still very light just now and barely even wetting the ground with the heaviest of this rain still a long way away from here. This is basically just the same old story as what we have been seeing time and time again again during this month, and is the main reason why this has been such a drier than average month here so far.
Today's maximum temperature was 14.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 15°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, so today has been a bit cooler than of late.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 13.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 13°C at Edinburgh Airport and 14.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
